Chapter 10: The first battle in Icewind Dale and gaining trust (2)
When he saw the other people who arrived later, even the indifferent Mifalla was stunned for a long time. Lieutenant General Hans even cheerfully praised the potential of this mercenary group and it would definitely be very brilliant in the future.
On the way to Icewind Valley Castle, Chen Qiaojun, Ding Yanzhi, and Zhang Cheng used various tricks to obtain information. As a result, before they reached the castle, they already knew a little about the current situation in Icewind Valley.
Before the invasion of the demons, Icewind Valley was always under the rule of the Magic Empire. The Herui family was the nobles of this Magic Empire. All of them were magicians, and Miphala was the prince of this empire.
A week ago, the demons that suddenly appeared relied on powerful ice and snow magic to occupy about 40 to 50% of the snow in Icewind Valley. The magic empire led by the Herui family had to temporarily stay in the city and rely on solid city walls to resist. Demon clan.
According to Mifalla, the empire now has a total of three legions, each with a strength of more than 10,000 people, which means that they have a total of at least 30,000 strong troops. Two of the legions are responsible for guarding the south and north sides of Icewind Valley respectively, and are responsible for defending the underground city and monsters in Icewind Valley respectively. The remaining legion is concentrated in the capital area and is responsible for protecting the capital.
For the Samsara Team, this is already quite a powerful force. If they get inside, no matter how powerful the Celestial Team is, they will never dare to provoke them. Aren't they afraid of being blown to pieces by tens of thousands of troops?
Of course, as a prince, Miphala also admitted that although he has more than 30,000 troops, there are not many magicians among them, only about a thousand. Most of these magicians are concentrated in the fortresses on the north and south sides, as well as in the capital. , only a few will be scattered among the teams in various places.
After getting this information, the wise men of the three reincarnation teams naturally thought about it individually, and from time to time discussed with the members of their own team through spiritual chains.
In short, with a mixture of discussion and silence along the way, everyone soon arrived at the city where the Herui Magic Family was seated.
Looking up at the tall and towering city wall, Yao Ruoyu touched his nose and carefully extended his mental power scan, but when he got close to the city wall, he was blocked by a mental power. Although the mental power was very mild, Yao Ruoyu was keenly aware of how powerful it was, so he quickly took back the mental power.
In the original plot, because Miphala was frostbitten by the Queen of Ice using magic, only deputy general Hans led everyone. However, due to the intervention of the Samsara Team, Miphala personally led the team.
With the convenience of being a prince, everyone entered the city very easily. Ding Yanzhi, Yao Ruoyu and Chen Weijia discussed it and finally decided that only a few people would follow Mifalla to the palace, while the others would find a place to settle down first.
In the end, Ding Yanzhi, Yao Ruoyu, Chen Weijia, Chen Qiaojun, and Zhang Cheng followed Mifalla to the palace. Although the main force had already left, the remaining Cai Xudong, Ni Chan, Long Cheng and others were not weak in strength. The Celestial Team has not arrived yet, so we are not worried about being attacked.
"But by the way, how many days will it take for the God Team to arrive?" Yao Ruoyu asked a few people next to him in a low voice while Mifalla was talking to the guard at the palace gate.
"Well, there should be more..." Chen Qiaojun thought for a while and replied, "This is the ninth day of our arrival, and the God Team will arrive in eleven days."
"It's been a long time!" Ding Yanzhi sighed lightly, took out a piece of dried bean curd, took a bite, and said casually, "The time of arrival is equal to the difference in strength between each other... We really have to make a good decision whether someone will die in this team battle. Woolen cloth."
Yao Ruoyu smiled, waved his hand and said: "No matter what, if we can let everyone survive, we must let everyone survive!"
"That's natural," Zhang Cheng smiled. When he saw Mifalla suddenly arguing with a man in a green cloak at the city gate, he unconsciously put away a bit of his smile and said lightly, "That should be Ti. Damn it, the person who suspects Musa and others of being spies...be careful of the other party's magic spells."
"I know." Yao Ruoyu was always ready to use the plasma defense shield. Unfortunately, the entire city was always shrouded in a layer of mental power, making it impossible for him to release his mental power to monitor the conversation between Mifalla and Tipa.
While they were watching, Mifalla suddenly waved his arm and came back angrily, saying to Yao Ruoyu and the others: "I'm sorry... My friend suspected that you were spies and did not allow you to enter the palace... I can only feel wronged by you first." If you live outside, I will go to your father and make it clear."
"Aren't you a prince? Why do you obey his arrangements?" Zhang Cheng suddenly asked curiously.
Mifalla hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "Dipa is a very upright person, but he is very stubborn, but he has no evil intentions. He and I are good brothers, and I admire him very much. He is responsible for guarding the palace gate. so……"
"Understood." Yao Ruo smiled foolishly and said to Mifalla, "We will go to the largest inn here to stay first. If you have anything later, you can go there to find us. By the way, we hope to meet your father. The great King Dariov, there are things we wish to report to him."
"Meet my father?" Mifalla was stunned, pondered for a moment, and nodded, "I will go find my father. Anyway, I will wrong you first."
Then Mifalla waved to a soldier and ordered him to lead the way for Yao Ruoyu and others. Then he said goodbye to everyone and turned to enter the palace.
Seeing Dipa staring at his group of people with suspicion at the entrance of the palace, Yao Ruoyu snorted: "Damn it, I want to kill that guy, what kind of look is that..."
"Calm down, who wants someone to be an official? The word "official" means two words!" Ding Yanzhi patted his shoulder with a smile and said, "Let's go, let's go to the inn to find them! If anything happens, we'll see Darui later. It’s never too late for King Auf to say so.”
In the midst of laughter, everyone also arrived at the largest inn in the city. Due to the invasion of demons, the business in the entire city seemed to be relatively sluggish. After Zhang Ziqiang and the others arrived, they directly threw out a large sum of gold and booked the entire inn. , and received the warmest hospitality from the innkeeper.
After taking a shower and resting, Yao Ruoyu and the others discussed the next arrangements in the lobby.
As mentioned before, the North Sea team will continue to set off after settling down. According to the development of the plot, they will go to the dungeon and Atlantis one by one until they finally reach the Lost Tower. However, the Central Continent Team plans to stay in Icewind Valley and rely on the power of the Magic Empire to fight against the Celestial Team and Quinton. Only the West Sea Team is still in a state of uncertainty.
But now there is a problem. According to the plot, A Xida should have got the goddess suit, but now Yu Ting of the Zhongzhou team has obtained this set of equipment. So will Mu Sha stay and wait for Yu? Will he go on the road with Ting, or will he leave with the Beihai team?
After discussing for a long time with no result, Ding Yanzhi finally shook his head and said: "No matter what, our Beihai team will enter the underground city before the Tianshen team arrives. This is my arrangement. Musha's words are up to him!"
Smiling, Chen Qiaojun said: "According to my estimation, Dariov will summon us tonight, and then I will..." Before she could finish speaking, Yao Ruoyu suddenly raised his hand to stop her from continuing. He spoke, and then used his mental power to shield the entire inn.
After unlocking the third-level gene lock, they could vaguely sense the mental scan. Ding Yanzhi and Chen Weijia looked at each other. The latter frowned and said, "What's going on?"
Ding Yanzhi looked at the sky thoughtfully and said in a deep voice: "Is there spiritual power around here?"
"Yes," Yao Ruoyu nodded and replied, "It's happened since I entered the city. Don't you feel it?" The last sentence was asked to the spiritual power users of the two teams.
Min Qianhui and Zhang Xiaoman looked at each other. The latter said blankly: "I don't feel anything..." Min Qianhui frowned slightly and said softly: "I had a little vague feeling and thought it was my illusion."
"It seems that the mentalist is very strong!" Zhang Ziqiang, who was next to him, murmured and asked with concern, "How long can you block him for?"
"Don't worry, there won't be much problem if you just block it," Yao Ruo smiled foolishly and said, "Anyway, as long as there is no direct confrontation, I can hold on for a few hours, so feel free to speak!"
Squeezing his forehead, Chen Qiaojun said softly: "Then let's continue the topic... After meeting Dariov, I will ask to join the army in Icewind Valley and participate in the battle against the demons."
Afterwards, Chen Qiaojun briefly explained her plan, which was the plan she had told Yao Ruoyu before. Everyone was shocked when they heard that she planned to deliberately let go of the defense line, allowing the demonic army to approach the empire's capital, and then use the public opinion offensive to borrow the empire's elite magicians and force their way into the Lost Tower.
Zhang Cheng thought about Chen Qiaojun's plan carefully, then sighed after a long time, slowly closed the book on his lap, nodded and said: "It's a good but dangerous plan... But have you considered what happens if it fails... …”
"No plan is perfect," Chen Qiaojun replied with a smile, "It's just that I am very confident that this plan will succeed. With an elite army of magicians, we naturally no longer need to be afraid of the existence of the Celestial Team."
"What a crazy plan!" Ding Yanzhi slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, it was clear and he said solemnly, "In this case, I congratulate you in advance on being able to destroy the Celestial Team!"
"Still don't want to join?" Chen Qiaojun frowned upon hearing this and asked calmly.
"You and I are both wise men, so why would we say such false words?" Ding Yanzhi suddenly burst into laughter and replied, "To put it bluntly, the more noisy you have here, the more trouble I have here. The more convenient it is, at least the Tianshen team will be attracted to your place and will not deliberately hunt down our Beihai team, right?"
"Yes! We are all wise men, so why say such false words..." Smiling gently, Chen Qiaojun said softly, "Similarly, if you go out alone, you will naturally attract the power of a small part of the Celestial Team. Facing us being scattered, they will inevitably have to take measures to divide themselves into teams..."
"With a smaller number of people, you will naturally not attract too many enemies. With the strength of your team, you should be able to sustain it... With a larger number of people, we will naturally attract more enemies. However, because of the power of the Magic Empire, we cannot Don’t be afraid of the Celestials…this is a win-win deal!”
